i've been trying to buy WP stuff for months. BUT, don't have a credit card, so can't. any chance of using PayPal, or a debit card, or something?

From looking at the CafePress website I think you can only pay by credit card- however if you have a visa delta card it goes through in the same way as a credit card on US sites.

True - according to CafePress, Visa debit cards are fine, and we have bought from US based sites using one without trouble.

No-some banks debit cards are visa Delta cards instead of switch.

Paypal can act as a credit card I think.

No- to pay by Paypal uses a completely different system. You don't have a card number to put in like you would with a credit card- instead it sends you straight to paypal to log in with the details of the transaction ready.

Or at least this is how it works for UK accounts.

Debit cards are EFT eletronic funds transfar and take from right away to 24 hours. But places that take debit have to pay a small fee to have you use one. That is why some place say 10 USD or more. Debit cards used as "credit cards" go thur a longer process 3-5 days. Along with no interest to use the money Personly i do not like paying 1.20 USD to use 1.00 USD.
